Alright so ive been wanting to lift my 07 2 door jk but i dont know what is the best way of going about it. I don't go off roading to often and if i did prob wouldnt be anything to crazy but i wanted to raise it up. everyone keeps suggesting i use a body lift but as i read through here everyone is talking down about them whats the best way of going about it

 

What size tires do you want to run? whats your goal with your jeep? wheeling or more driving on the street?

 

well to be honest im not to sure what size either i was thinking about 35s but i read alot about how many mods you have to do so your tire dosent scrape or rub so i was gonna go with as big as possible but still being able to turn the wheel completely and as for the goal i drive more on the street but occasionally go wheeling would go more but not to many locations that are legal around me if i knew places deff would go more but yeah

 

I think you would be happy with a teraflex 2.5" suspension lift. Should give you enough room for 35" tires. Cant beat the lift for a reasonable price.

 

well how big can i go before doing modifications because at first i was going to get the 4in and 35s but then saw that the part said i needed to get a upgraded exhaust and relocate the brake cables and stuff and what do you think about jus a body lift to go along with a regular lift

 

A couple companies make 2.5" lifts specifically to run 35's without major mods. Any bigger and you start into replacing drive shafts, extending brake lines ect.

 

I would agree that from what you have discribed that a 2.5 inch lift would do you just fine. I would go with either the TeraFlex or the AEV lifts. My JK came from the dealer with 255/75/17 tires which is a 32 inch, and I believe this is the same size tire that comes on the Rubicon's. I run 35's on my JK and it does rub a bit when I've got the steering wheel at full lock.

You may also want to consider a budget boost, I typically don't suggest a BB but from what you are discribing you want to do a BB may work for you. It will give you some extra clearance for bigger tires and will give you a more aggressive look to it.

I would stay away from body lifts they tend to be more of a pain than they are worth.

 

If your looking simply for more height/bigger tires, not so much offroad preformance, I'd keep it affordable and easy with a budget boost. Some coil spacers are cheap, easy to install, retain most of factory ride. Performance wise, I'd go with TeraFlex or Rock Krawler susp lifts with bilsteins. Just depends on cost and what your plan is for use. Any lift is better than no lift though!

 

The look of my jeep is all smoke and mirrors. I have no lift and my tire are 33's which are only 1/2" bigger than the stock size. What I did do was go down to a 15" MB72 alloy rim and then trimmed my fender flares to get the bigger look

 

alright yeah i think ima do that jus a budget lift and then go from there.... can you put a budget lift on a 2.5 lift and how big can you go with a budget lift.....oh and thanks for helping me out guys appreciate it
